Part 11/14:
Jose Castillo: Remarkably, Castillo was DFA’d three times but kept returning, pitching around nine innings of valuable relief—earning a modest C grade.
Austin Warren: Despite limited innings, he posted excellent numbers, earning a B grade and exemplifying the depth the Syracuse train provided.
Roberts concluded that the Syracuse relievers may have been one of the brightest spots of the Mets pitching staff in 2025—a testament to the importance of roster management, roster flexibility, and the role of minor league call-ups in maintaining team cohesion during the season's grind.
